Hi guys, did you catch my secret message?? The 1rst letter in each word of the post name spells what I love LOVE loved doing last night, get it? Think about it you guys! GET IT?? Baaaaaaaaa! Sometimes I clap and sing it to the tune of Bee Eye Enn Gee Oh, and hostess was my name-O! :) Yay I heart Bunco! Or Bunko!C or K, total konundrum. Either way, definitely TAMNed up my nite to hostess!

Just a sec, need to major vent: it makes my heart ashamed when people say Bunco is gambling because it is NOT even close, and since I've never received counsel on it from the two places I consider binding and official (confrince and email) it's totally fine. If I get a fwd on it I may reconsider, but seriously, LOVE IT, and NOT just because it's all luck and no skill ok? SO much fun to just let all my adult responsibilities go and de-wind, relax and get silly with my girlies and my besties. Chose the theme of Cowgirl Beach Vaycay, mostly so we could watch a slideshow of all the times JJWT and me've horsebackrid on the beach, PLUS we all got wear our modest bikinis and big hats and cute pigtails and huge beltbuckles and blast country and I made an adorable wooden sign that says "Bunco-ing Bronco Time, Cowgirlz only!" We glued teensy glittery cowboy-hat confetti on each other's cheeks with special cleansing/pore minimizing facial glue (sparkling beyond belief = serious guilty pleasure), THEN yelled "Yee-haw!" when we got Bunc/kos and all sang along superloud with every Tim/Keith song and carry-okeed to tons of Rascal and ate nummy veggie-steaks! My prizes were rhinestone cowboy boots which caused everyone to majorly covet. I got the highest score (HAPPY DANCE!) and LIKE her life's not sad enough, Yvette (spinsty) got the lowest AND the boots were too small for her ginormous feet...whoooops. One of my secret greatest slash most abiding wishes is that one day Yvette will be sick so Rachael Ray will sub w/ our group. P.S. the bikinis were way fun bc everyone L-O-V-E-D my baby bump and said I looked skinny, which I BETTER, because I've only eaten prenates, Orbitz and lite microwave pawcorn for the last 3 days and I feel cuter than ever...yum! Moral of the story: Mommy loves Bunco, baby loves Orville.

Wow. This post totally made me feel like a bad Mormon women, since I've never played Bunco. I don't know anyone who has either. I'm like 6 degrees of separation away from Bunco, and therefore, the Lord.

I probably shouldn't admit this, but I've never scrapbooked either! I was really nervous last week, in my temple recommend interview, that they and changed things up and were going to bring up scrapbooking, but fortunately, they never did.

I'm with Kristina, never played Buncko. But I have a lifelong goal that I will accomplish someday in my lifetime; Finish a full game of Monopoly. Anyone actually finish and how long did it take? I need to start planning.

OMGosh, how did I go to BYU for 4 years and never play Bunc/ko?? I must have had rilly uncute freinds. But dont worry, TAMN, I looked it up on Wiki, and it doesnt say ANYTHING about not getting into the celestal kingdom b/cuz of Bunc/ko. Now I want to play but I live in Englend and no one here plays it! We have to move back to Ziyun! Heart you!

How can I go on a cowboy beach vacay???? I'm not sure what it is, but it sounds like so much fun! Do you do anything more than horseback riding on the beach? We need more deets about these fab vacays!!

Seriously so BUNCO!! I heard Steve Martin say that Bunco was not gambling because there are no face cards involved, and he is the bestest and most famousest member of the church. See, it is easy to learn the gospel. Face cards = evil. I know this with every fiber of my bean.

"i do agree with anonymous, let's not bring those sweet men into this out of respect..."

*sigh* It was a reference to an actual email I received.

I said that because I think people should stop forwarding ridiculous emails and verbally passing around stupid LDS folklore all together. (Like the story about the 3 nephites and the sister missionary they saved from a rapist, or the one about the prophet telling the couple in the temple to sell her wedding ring and buy food storage.)

As I said, the email about "12 arguing in the temple", was something I actually got. It was about how they disagree in their meetings and how sweet and funny it is because aren't they just like us? They're like real people!

Until the day comes when members stop believing the superfun faith-building rumors they tell each other, I will happily make fun of them.

Oh My Heck, Bunco is kind of not totally righteous. Be careful. One of our Bunco girls was seriously sneaking slashes and adding points and we caught her, and she was primary prez even. The temptation for the awesomest prize can be too much for some competitive and just risky. Plus the bishop warnings, well, you know.

It is so awesome that you love popcorn-a-poppin. Yur baby will probably totally be birthed craving popcorn. You can pop it and like, mush it up. My babies have always ate the thigns I craved. Good for you for eating such natural roughage.

I'm totally emberassed for you for not knowing this, but im only going to tell you this because I LOVE YA and I dont want you to get emberassed again... Bunco is NOT allowed by church members, here in Utah. It was totally cool back in Idaho, but once I came to UT the first counselor in the Steak told me that we DONT play Bunco here. (Ok but seriously... that's a TRUE story)

Give Brittany (I do not know this girl) a break. In a class I took from Bott (I think it was Bott's class) at BYU he said something similar that decisions made by the 12 aren't just concluded at the instant the issue is brought up. There is always a lot of polite discussion. When you get 12 incredibly intelligent people in a room with very different backgrounds, of course there is discussion. Some well-intending email writer that Brittany is referring to called it "arguing" which I am sure it isn't but we don't always use the best words, do we.

But, she was making fun of an email. This does not mitigate anyone's reverence for The Twelve.

Oh my TAMN! Am I jealous or what?! I soooo want to play BUNCO but I'm not fortunate enough to live in Utah so all my friends and neighbors that play serve wine at their BUNCO parties. So sad! Would it be a sin if I started a group with my RS sisters? They've never addressed BUNCO in our meetings....Probably because I live out in the mission field and the rules are sometimes different.

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY

my life rocks
